Does Power Cord Require Burn-In To Sound Good?


I recently bought a new power cord but there isn’t much difference in sound quality between this new cord and the previous Wireworld Elektra 7 which it replaces. The cords are used on the DAC.

Any ideas if the cord needs to burn in to open up and sound better? It currently has about 5 hours on it and I think I prefer the sound quality of the previous cord which costs 10 times cheaper.

Any thoughts appreciated.

Kind of like the Emperor's New Cloths.  I am sure there must be a certain dollar amount that is considered fine enough quality.  I would be more likely to purchase a power conditioner.
Send it back Ryder. For what you spent on it you should be able to buy 3 Shunyata cords. I can’t remember where you’re using the first one, amp maybe? 
Acrolink/Acrotec is widely underappreciated.

I have Acrolink IC's from long ago, and try as I might, I've never found another brand or model that sounds better than them

Sadly never had one of their PCs.

It's a pity the brand isn't more widely available in the US.
Did you remember to tape; silver duct tape, not scotch tape; the power crystals to the top of plugs? Remember the tapered ends of the crystals must be facing true north, not magnetic north. If you can get some of those power crystals from Indonesia, the ones that have passed through a flying monkey, well those definitely sound the warmest as the molecular make-up of the stone shave been warmed by the animal.
Thanks for the laugh today, you guys are a hoot, I needed it.-E
